My daughter (17) is a natural poet. She told me that she want to find somewhere to read her poetry for her birthday on Feb 27. I think we will be there for that Friday. She will be so surprised and so happy - I hope....

Yes she will be very pleased. This event is held at my church and I always have a great time and the poetry is always first rate! Plus its only once a month so once you miss it you have to wait.... You all have got to come check it out and bring as many people as you can. Come vibe!!

Looks like a pretty sweet event, you might want to reconsider using the abbreviation "S.O.B." because it also stands for a cuss word. Wish you all the best.

I work with youth whose ages range from 12-17. These youth stay in a residential facility. Do you think this event is appropriate for them to attend?
